There’s nothing quite like a year where a fandom is effectively born is there?

We were fans of In the Flesh from the off, tuning into its first airing on BBC Three in 2013. All a bit bereft following the cancellation of Being Human, and the broadcast of the final episode the week before, we were possibly expecting more of the same from In the Flesh but instead saw something very different. The grey tones, lingering sadness and bursts of astute and brilliant humour lifted In the Flesh above other genre shows for us immediately, and so when news came that a second, longer series was on the way in 2014 we were hugely excited.
